and managers of the SPRINGFIELD RI
PUBLIC to advocate, push and represent in
large sense, the business interests OF
Springfield, for the last scrcahy goGrs.
One set of men have served their day and
generation, in the columns of this paper,
first known as the Furmsr. then a. the
Pioneer, and then as the RErUBIiC. and
have passed away TO their reward. giving,
place 10 a younger group Of printers and
publishers. Mr.. Benjamin II. Rodgers,
long since gone. was the pioneer. and since
his day Mr. f. III. Cummings. Mr.. John N.
Gallagher. Mr.. John ID. Nichols. Mr.. James

tiDuously, with an interval of only
about three months, by the present manage

times-in season ami out Of season-kept
Springfield business men, Springfield citi-
Gems of all classes and Springfield interests

and the presentation is one Of which every
citizen may well be proud. How Spring
